I don't know if im even being treated in such a way that I should feel how I do. I have autism. I've always been a slow learner and had a short attention span. I started working in fast food about 2 months ago. I've learned a lot but probably not as much as I should have. There is this girl I work with most days. she's 23 if that even matters.
she's overall nice to me but she often gets visibly frustrated with me. Like, a couple days ago she had me go to the back to fill a double containers of these packets of sauce. Im usually fast at it, but I had to open a box because we were out of it, so I was taking longer than usual. She yells across the kitchen in front of everyone and goes "Joe! Come on!". Someone gave her a look, and she was like "sorry, im not trying to be mean". I apologized when I came back over and explained i had to open a new box, and she was like "you're good".
Another time I changed the towel buckets that we wipe stuff down with, and I forgot to wash the dirty towels in the washer. I told her that near the end of the night, and she was like "joe! You should've done that earlier!". I said sorry. She was like its okay just go do it now. Also when it gets real busy, I feel overwhelmed. So much that I freeze, and forget what im doing, or just kind of mentally breakdown. Its like i lose grip with reality for a second, and just stand there. Also sometimes when we get an order for a drink I don't know how to make, ill just pretend I don't see it, because i dont want to ask her for help because she gets angry. She eventually just does it. I feel bad but I dont want to get yelled at. I don't know, she's the only one there who treats me like that. I don't know if im a pain in the ass to work with and everyone else is just better at dealing with me. A guy came over from another town to work with us, because we were short staffed. After he worked with her for a little bit, ge came up to me, and another worker, and was like "so who's the angry short girl?".

Based on your description of her reactions, I'd say you're just facing someone hyper but not mean, so I don't think it's personal here. I think she just wants things to go fast, which is consistent with what's expected from her for that job. What surprises me is that there's only her being like that among your coworkers lol.
You're not an idiot, it's always unpleasant to get yelled at, but again, I think she has no problem with you. It's just how she is, as indicated by the new guy's comment about her.
Most people don't understand autism, or have time to deal with it. I've had worse people to deal with, usually it's because they're out of their depth and they see you as just another problem. But no, you don't deserve it, and you're not an idiot, you're just different to the Normies.
